The Ghost of Old Man River

@PatriotBot1 @libsoftiktok Yes, and they responded by apologizing. The market worked. They realized they were wrong. We can all move on. By not moving on, you advocate canceling them forever. That’s lame and akin to what the woke mob wants. Apologies and progress have to mean something.

@evolve19999 @libsoftiktok The market responding to the actions of a business owners words is NOT cancel culture, it’s the free market at work. Cancel culture looks like a left wing mob threatening violence unless they get someone who used the wrong pronouns fired.

@PatriotBot1 @libsoftiktok Yes, even then. Fuck cancel culture. If you support cancel culture, you’re no better than the people you despise.

@evolve19999 @libsoftiktok Not when the apology is a vacant gesture given for the sole intent of saving their business. Forgiveness is good when someone is genuinely repentant. Forgiving these twats would just make one a cuck.

@ThePrussian1 @Tracinski @RadioFreeTom On average? No, there isn’t. And given Damon’s immense success in life, I’d venture so say he isn’t mediocre. If you find the movie cringe, fine—you’re entitled to your opinion. But your opinion doesn’t mean anything.

@evolve19999 @Tracinski @RadioFreeTom ....you are aware that there are mediocre minds at Harvard? And that a big name cannot confer intelligence? And that even if Damon is smart generally, it does not make GWH any less cringe?

@jondls76 @baseballnchill Rose yes. Bonds, no.

@baseballnchill 100% and Pete Rose

@_A_Nope @LukeMones “Murder” … you have no idea what that word means, simpleton.

@LukeMones I cannot wrap my head around how his PR team & lawyers didn’t talk him out of this. Like most ppl understand he’s shot a weapon on set a 1000 times, of course he couldn’t have expected that to happen, but he DID murder someone, he’s making it about himself & he’s overly defensive

@michaelianblack What a stupid incorrect take on the “law.” Your stupidity is bleeding.

As long as we're overturning settled law, I've got some thought about the Second Amendment.

This is pure anti-Muslim bigotry and as such is completely contrary to what the USA is supposed to stand for. That this is tolerated in American politics and the House GOP is an indictment against anyone who is silent about it.

@LeicaLexus @bariweiss You kidding me? That writing was god awful.

@bariweiss he's such a good writer - that said, we'll continue along as always --which has always been chaotic and amnesiac

I’ve read this five times so far. Two paragraphs that capture so, so much about where we are: freddiedeboer.substack.com/p/the-witching…

@bariweiss Ah…I remember freshman year creative writing classes, too. This is, perhaps, some of the worst writing I’ve ever read. Dear. God.

@SenSanders @RBReich “Got money for war but can’t feed the poor.” At least credit Tupac if you’re gonna steal his lines bro.

How is it that there is always money for war but never enough money for the children, the sick, the hungry, and the poor?

I know I sometimes exaggerate when discussing Lebron but this is flat assault and deserves jail time

@WinfieldForUS @RBReich You saying “with” and that’s where you’re fucking wrong. Stop peddling lies.

@RBReich Why is the Justice Department not prosecuting Rittenhouse for crossing state lines with an illegally obtained assault weapon and shooting and killing demonstrators?

The Rittenhouse verdict is a clear signal to white supremacist vigilantes: your violence justified. We must not become inured to white supremacy.

@RBReich I never understand how you can supposedly be so smart yet so uninformed and purposefully ignorant.

This…. Leading by example. Nice job @JonahDispatch and @stephenfhayes Two Fox News Contributors Quit in Protest of Tucker Carlson’s Jan. 6 Special nytimes.com/2021/11/21/bus…

@pennywinkie @tomcwark @thomaschattwill He didn’t okay navy seal, he shot people he rightfully believed were trying to kill him. You can keep moving the goal posts, but it won’t change the facts or the verdict.

@evolve19999 @tomcwark @thomaschattwill yes becuase in the military the generals are the ones with training to guide the young soldiers. this kid had no training to play navy seals

sincerely wonder how many people now saying 17 is plenty grown up and a fine age to defend society would think it a good idea for *their own child* to be running around such a chaotic situation with an assault rifle. how many would think that would be a net positive?

@lscain3834 @tallassee129 @jtlykke @irishrygirl Here is Kyle with his medic bag before the Rosenbaum shooting. I don’t understand the need to lie about facts that are easily proved.

@tallassee129 @jtlykke @irishrygirl KR said he went there to "help" ppl!?! welp, the kid forgot his medic bag but remembered to bring his gun and extra ammo! He's not mature enough to have/handle a gun, not mature enough or the right temperament to even be in the HC field!!

@kyriepaoli @thomaschattwill Perhaps when a child rapist decides to try to burn down a city by starting dumpster fires and pushing it towards a gas station in effort to cause a massive explosion? I think that’s a good time to have citizens in the streets with firearms to protect the city from devastation.

@thomaschattwill I think a better question is why do we have anyone with assault rifles in the streets, or even guns? In what case is that needed? Zombie attacks? Guns are designed to kill not disable, thats why most citizens of other countries do not buy guns in the first place.

@pennywinkie @tomcwark @thomaschattwill This response is naïve. The legal age to join the military with parental consent in the US is 17, Kyles age at the time of the incident. We don’t require those kids to have any special wisdom about the perils of war. Wrong or right, that’s not required.

@tomcwark @thomaschattwill wow seems like this kid had a lot of wisdom, had read books of great generals and philosopher and understood the consequence before strapping himself up for his sordid mission.
